What trades put in a bay

General contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies, and maintenance crews use a bay for tools, fittings, leftover materials, and the equipment that belongs off the truck at night. The bay is the back room the shop always needed.

Tell us if a van or a vehicle needs to stay with the materials. We’ll match that to a building that can take it, and you can see the floor on a tour.

How to pick a size

Sketch the floor. A 500 square foot bay is a focused room for fittings and tools. 1,000 and 1,500 square feet add an aisle and a place to break down a delivery. 2,000+ square feet is the roomy step, with larger spaces available when you ask.

Leave a clear path for a pallet. The right size still has room to walk on the morning after the first delivery.

What to say when you inquire

Choose “Contractor/trades storage” on the form. Add the rough list: vans that visit, racking you’ll bring, and a bench if you want one for light assembly. Pick 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2+ years.

Long Island City books a tour from the building page. Every other building takes the inquiry and we follow up about that address. Pricing follows the term, the size, credit, and the lease.
